god descending upon Mount Olympus

Burnside needs to brush up his mythology. The gods would descend from Olympus, as that was their home.

Precious few sportswriters I’ve encountered can pull off trying to sound smart without sounding stupid. The key here is to sound smart all of the time—ala Duhatschek—rather than trying to impress by shoehorning in some trite simile or metaphor that a tenth-grader would be proud of.
